Winklevoss Predicts $1M Bitcoin in 5 Years; Cypherpunk Buys 203,775 ZEC
Tyler Winklevoss on Nov. 12, 2025 reaffirmed his long-standing prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1,000,000 within five years and simultaneously launched Cypherpunk, a new firm dedicated to digital privacy investments. The twin’s renewed bullish call comes from a high-profile market influencer and could reinforce positive sentiment among retail and institutional crypto holders, though it remains a projection rather than a certainty.
Cypherpunk disclosed an immediate purchase of 203,775 ZEC at $245 apiece—roughly 1.25% of Zcash’s total supply—and said it intends to increase its stake to 5%. That accumulation could tighten circulating supply for ZEC and draw attention to privacy coins amid evolving regulatory scrutiny. Investors should note the potential market impact of a concentrated holder and weigh the usual volatility and regulatory risks when interpreting bullish price forecasts.
